Wow, I had no idea british public transportation was that bad.

its worse than bad its a joke.

You should be covered by your own insurance if someone lends you a vehicle,when my last car sufered engine problems on the motorway and only just made it back home without dying i borrowed my mates ford transit van to drive around in . :-)

Hm....never thought public transportation was that ####e in the UK. Long live privatisation eh? :roll:

It's not that. The fact is that this is an awkward situation:

It's a last minute job (hence no advance booking discounts), it is on one of the worst supported transport routes in the country (public or private) and Ryu has a pile of equipment to lug with him.

I feel sorry for you Daz, and if I was mobile at the moment I'd take the time out to give you a lift down there even though I have no plans to go to the show myself. Alas, "if" isn't going to solve your problem. I really hope something turns up for you.

thanks for the kind words Bill.

I've prety much accepted the fact im not going now... guess I'll put my T-shirt away now too...

[Cyberus]

That sucks man, if only I lived in that part of the country, I'd probably drive you two down, especially as you've obv put a lot of effort into the show, and also because I've never been to a show before... :-(

At this point, if I were you, I'd be phoning up mates and asking them for a BIG favour. I once paid a friend to drive me to W London to pick up an Amiga when my car was off the road...any chance? Or how about someone's parents, brother, sister, etc?

@ Cyberus

Tried all that and failed.

Im on one last hope with a guy over at amigaworld, he comes from Melton Mowbray which isnt too far from here... well 70 miles but its a lot cheaper to get there and back then it is for me to get to bath and back on the train.

@ Cyberus

Good luck.  I really hope you get there.

Bit of a status update... Im still not any closer to getting to Bath, Im waiting to hear back from Cap still... I hope he replies when he gets in from work... otherwise it doesnt look like im going. JurrasCamper has offered to help out, but the logistics invovled in getting down to him arent good and probable costly. :-(
